Power Stone 2 Adventure Mode Unveiled

We can't take the hype anymore... just give us the game!

We don't know about all of you out there, but our desire to own Power Stone 2 grows everyday. The fact that Capcom is slowly releasing more and more details on the Dreamcast conversion of this sequel doesn't help to calm our need for this game, at all.

Capcom doesn't seem to care about our boiling anticipation though, since they just released more information about a new exclusive mode for the Dreamcast version of the game. Entitled "Adventure Mode", this mode is the more in-depth version of the standard Power Stone fighting. What differentiates the Adventure mode from the Arcade mode is that you actually have to earn your items. New weapons will only be made available if you can afford them. That's right, you get money while playing in this game mode.

So how exactly do you earn your keep, and how do you go about buying these new items? Capcom is keeping the answer to that relatively simple. There are two possible ways to receive some cash. The first method is when you clear a stage, coins appear all around and you must run to collect as much as you can. A second way to get some dough is to use an item and hit someone with it. If you score a hit, you score some coinage. You can use your revenue in the item shop and select from the wide range of weaponry and assorted "things". When you buy items, they are placed in your inventory, and you can apparently call up this inventory before a match begins and select items you wish to use.

Capcom wants all of you to know that the shop is not the only place to get these weapons. During the game, treasure chests will also appear, just like in the arcade mode. And who knows... you might just find an item that is unavailable in the store!

Salivating fans (like ourselves) can take pleasure knowing that Daylight Savings Times made April 27 at least one hour closer. For a visual look into Power Stone 2's Adventure Mode, take a glance at the pictures below.
